Q: How do I enroll?

The Art Department is offering an exclusive sneak-peek inside our virtual classrooms through our EXPLORE Program, an introduction to TAD. When EXPLORE aired live attendees were able to interact with the esteemed faculty and industry professionals (Jon Foster, George Pratt, Sterling Hundley, and more), along with student representatives, for a chance to sample TAD's interactive, online approach to art education. With 2+ hours a day of demos, discussions, and special guest appearances, EXPLORE is available to those who want to watch the workshop streaming on-demand at any time!

EXPLORE is an opportunity for artists of any level and discipline to sample the true TAD experience - a week filled with live demos, visiting professionals, and advice from some of our star students. Participants will be able to attend each class on demand in our interactive streaming classrooms. Registration is 100% FREE and is open to participants both domestic and international. All course descriptions are listed below.
